Taylor Swift bundles up in a warm coat as she heads into a recording studio on Monday morning (December 13th) in Nashville.

It’s her birthday today — the country cutie is now 21!

T shared with Nashville DJ Gerry House on WSIX via People about how she got her birthday wish: “Plans? For my birthday? This is it! This was all I planned for. It snowed yesterday, you know, so that kind of limits activities. I may sit inside my apartment and pretend I’m in a snow globe.”

She continued, “I don’t feel older all of a sudden. It’s a state of mind thing, how you see the world, being excitable, staying excitable and impressionable and doing your best not to become jaded or bitter. I think keeping your mind and your heart open keeps you young. Things feel really good on this birthday, really great in fact.”
